Drink and TV
Sounds easy: a cup in hand and a favourite show on. But the body needs to stay still while attention drifts toward the screen. The visual support below splits the moment into parts.

A person sits on a blue couch, drinking from a red cup with a straw and pointing at a TV screen.
About this visual support
Doing two things at once sounds harmless, but the body has to stay still and grip the cup while every drop of attention drifts toward the show. That is where the spills and forgotten sips come from – not carelessness, just a brain that has picked one channel.
When the picture cards show the cup and the tv side by side, the two parts become concrete. The child sees they belong together, and you get a way to point back without talking over the episode. A quiet pause between scenes is usually enough for a sip.
One small tip: place the cup in the same spot every time, so it becomes a visual anchor next to the screen. If you want to tie tv time and drinking into a recurring routine, the Routined app can link these cards to a timer and a gentle reminder between episodes.
